Conrad Hilton really wanted to be a banker. Instead, he successfully changed the【C1】______purchase of a Texas low-end hotel into a multimillion-dollar hotel empire that earned him the【C2】______"innkeeper to the world."
Born in New Mexico in 1887, Hilton was 19 when his parents began renting out rooms in their home. The business didn’t interest him, however, so he became a【C3】______legislator, founded a bank and went off to war.

His first, the Dallas Hilton, opened in 1925. By the late 1940s, Hilton’s list included the Town House in Beverly Hills and Chicago’s Palmer House, as well as【C7】______nightclubs featuring A-list stars. He also expanded internationally. And in 1949, he bought the "greatest of them all": New York City’s magnificent Waldorf-Astoria.

Even modern hotel-reservations systems【C9】______from one Hilton which was established in 1948.

M)inherited N)creative O)state [br] 【C3】
选项
答案
O
解析
此处应为定语成分修饰legislator,可为名词、形容词或分词。空格后的legislator(立法者)通常只有联邦的立法者或州、市的立法者之分,与此语义联系最紧密的是state。
